Lynx

Lynx Broker and German taxes

Lynx (LYNX B.V.) has been an active introducing broker since 2006, regulated by the Dutch financial supervisory authority AFM and supervised in Germany by BaFin. Lynx provides access to global markets through the Interactive Brokers platform and serves active traders in the German-speaking region with German-language support from its Berlin branch office.

As with all IBKR-based brokers: Lynx does not withhold German capital gains tax and does not provide an annual tax certificate according to German law. German investors must calculate their own capital gains and report them in their tax return.

BubbleTax is compatible with Lynx data

Since Lynx uses the Interactive Brokers infrastructure, you export the same FlexQuery XML file as direct IBKR customers. BubbleTax processes this data automatically and creates a complete tax report.

How it works

1. Export FlexQuery – Create an account statement in your Lynx/IBKR account (XML format)
2. Upload to BubbleTax – Upload the XML file
3. Get your report – Download your PDF tax report for your German tax return
